Annapolis Junction, M.D. - For more than 80 years, Sandvik Welding Consumables has been a world-leading developer and manufacturer of advanced stainless steels and nickel filler metals for demanding environments. To broaden and enhance its portfolio of specialty alloys, ESAB Welding & Cutting Products acquired the Sandvik welding consumables business, finalizing the transaction earlier this year. Beginning November 1, these products will go to market under the name Exaton™, an ESAB brand. As part of the brand update, the following changes will occur:

Product packaging will be updated to reflect the new Exaton brand and logo.

The product itself will retain current labeling.

The contents of the Sandvik website, including specifications and Material Safety Data Sheets, will be transferred to the ESAB website.

The Sandvik Welding Handbook mobile app, which features all in the information in the Welding Handbook PDF and useful calculators, will be transferred to the ESAB site.

"While Sandvik will move forward as Exaton, customers can be assured that the most important factors will remain the same: the excellent performance, metallurgy and weldability of our consumables," says Shyam Kambeyanda, President, ESAB.

"Batch after batch, Exaton products operate at the same parameters and deliver the same superior results," says Calander. "Run one batch of Exaton welding consumables, and you'll experience the performance difference."

Exaton wire grades use a proprietary surface lubricant that delivers superior feeding properties, while micro-alloy additions improve weldability factors such as reduced spatter for shorter cleanup time, improved flow control to eliminate welding defects and faster deposition for increased productivity. Exaton's innovative chemistry also delivers productivity improvements, such as obtaining permissible finished chemistry with a single layer weld overlay in applications that traditionally require two or even three layers.

"When specialty applications require new and unique alloys, Exaton's metallurgical experts are renowned for custom-developed formulations. We can then manufacturer alloy batches as small as 1.5 tons and as large as 70 tons," says Calander.

ESAB Welding & Cutting Products is a recognized leader in the welding and cutting industry. From time-honored processes in welding and cutting to revolutionary technologies in mechanized cutting and automation, ESAB's filler metals, equipment, and accessories bring solutions to customers around the globe.
